  • Which Components Boost Social-Emotional Learning Intervention Effects in Preschool Children? A Multilevel Meta-Analysis

    Open AccessAnalia Silberman, Brechtje de Mooij et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2026

    This multilevel meta-analysis examined to what extent specific intervention components produce Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) intervention effects in samples of nonclinical preschool children. We coded the strategies implemented in preschool SEL interventions into discrete components targeting specific skills. We extracted data from 87 studies (N = 20,293 preschool children aged 3–5 years) that evaluated 70 interventions and reported 617 effect …

  • Have parenting programs for disruptive child behavior become less effective

    Open AccessPatty Leijten, G J Melendez-Torres et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2026

    BACKGROUND: Behavioral parenting programs have been exhaustively studied over the past five decades. We used this wealth of research to examine how estimates of parenting program effects have evolved over time, and if any time trends in effect estimates can be explained by trial, sample, or intervention characteristics. METHODS: We based our meta-analysis on a systematic search of 22 international and regional databases, gray literature, and 4 tr…

  • Tailoring the Home‐Start program to the needs of first‐time parents

    Open AccessAnne M E Bijlsma, Leonie M de Vries et al.ARTICLEInfant Mental Health Journal2026Referências: 65

    Although first‐time parents have a great need for effective support in the first challenging years of child upbringing, there is little research on volunteer‐led parenting support programs in the context of the transition to parenthood. Therefore, this qualitative study examined the perceived value and key components of Home‐Start, a volunteer‐led parenting support program aimed at parents who have everyday parenting questions and receive little …

  • What Works in Home-Start According to Parents and Volunteers

    Open AccessAurelie M C Lange, M Zandbergen et al.ARTICLEChild & Youth Care Forum2025

  • Social-emotional learning intervention effects

    Open AccessBrechtje de Mooij, Marc J M H Delsing et al.ARTICLEApplied Developmental Science2025

    We assessed the role of implementation setting (universal or indicated) on the effects of social-emotional skill (SEL) intervention, focusing on school climate and psychosocial adjustment. Taking Topper Training as a case intervention, we used pretest-posttest data from 444 eight to twelve-year-old children across three conditions: universal implementation, indicated implementation, and no-intervention control. School climate improved in the univ…

  • Daily Parental Responses To Disruptive Child Behavior

    Open AccessMerlin Nieterau, G J Melendez-Torres et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2025

    The goal of the present study was to identify patterns of daily disruptive child behavior and parental responses to this behavior, as well as investigate the occurrence of these patterns over 14 days. We examined daily parental reports on disruptive child behavior, harsh parental responses, and giving in to children's demands from 156 families (M child age = 5.88; 47% girls) collected over 14 days (2,067 assessments). Using multilevel latent prof…

  • Children will Love Like You Do”

    Open AccessLoes Van Rijn‐van Gelderen, Susanne Schulz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2025Referências: 39

    Despite valuable insights into the predictors of high-quality romantic relationships, research has yet to examine the mediating role of peer relationship characteristics in linking parent-adolescent relationship quality to romantic relationship quality. In two longitudinal studies, the present research tested whether adolescents’ relationship quality with best friends mediates the associations between relationship quality with mothers or fathers …

  • Boosters and Barriers to Implementation

    Open AccessAngelique Boering, Annabeth P Groenman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Psychology2025Referências: 32

    Recently, it has been argued that youth‐initiated mentoring (YIM) holds promise for justice‐involved youth. In YIM, youths select an adult mentor from their social network. Successful implementation is key to the effectiveness of an innovation, but little is known about the factors contributing to the successful implementation of YIM. We explored boosters and barriers to implementation perceived by professionals implementing YIM into a juvenile d…

  • YouTube vloggers set the stage

    Open AccessMaud Hensums, Wouter Van Den Bos et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2024

    INTRODUCTION: YouTube vloggers may be important socialization figures, yet their influence on adolescents' health-related behaviors and cognitions is largely untested. In this two-study mixed-method project, we first assessed the extent of (non)compliance to COVID-19 regulations by vloggers on YouTube and how viewers reacted to this. Second, we experimentally assessed the effects of vlogger behavior paired with viewer evaluations on adolescents' …

  • DNA methylation variation after a parenting program for child conduct problems

    Open AccessNicole Creasey, Patty Leijten et al.ARTICLEChild Development2024

    This study investigated associations of the Incredible Years (IY) parenting program with children's DNA methylation. Participants were 289 Dutch children aged 3–9 years (75% European ancestry, 48% female) with above-average conduct problems. Saliva was collected 2.5 years after families were randomized to IY or care as usual (CAU). Using an intention-to-treat approach, confirmatory multiple-regression analyses revealed no significant differences …

  • Effectiveness, working mechanisms, and implementation of youth-initiated mentoring for juvenile delinquents

    Open AccessAngelique Boering, Annabeth P Groenman et al.ARTICLEHealth & Justice2024

  • Commentary

    Open AccessTycho J Dekkers, Annabeth P Groenman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    An important question in mental healthcare for children is whether treatments are effective and safe in the long run. Here, we comment on a recent editorial perspective by Roest et al. (2022), who argue, based on an overview of systematic reviews, ‘that there is no convincing evidence that interventions for the most common childhood disorders are beneficial in the long term’. We believe that the available evidence does not justify this conclusion…

  • Strengthening parental self-efficacy and resilience

    Open AccessHend Eltanamly, Patty Leijten et al.ARTICLEChild Development2023

    Post-migration stress and parenting adolescents can reduce parental self-efficacy. This study tested the effects of strengthening parental self-efficacy in refugee parents of adolescents and whether this makes parental self-efficacy less impacted by post-migration stressors. Using a within-subject experimental design, experience sampling data were collected in 2019 from 53 refugee parents of adolescents (Mage = 39.7, SDage = 5.59, 73% Syrian, 70%…

  • Development and socialization of self-regulation from infancy to adolescence

    Open AccessChristiane Wesarg-Menzel, R Ebbes et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Review2023

    Self-regulation has been intensely studied across developmental science disciplines in virtue of its significance to understanding and fostering adaptive functioning throughout life. Whereas research has predominantly focused on self-regulatory abilities, age-related changes in goals and motivation that underlie self-regulation have been largely neglected. In a systematic meta-review, we disentangle the development of self-regulatory abilities fr…

  • Social goals and gains of adolescent bullying and aggression

    Open AccessMaud Hensums, Eddie Brummelman et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Review2023

    There is a long-standing debate on the goals that underlie adolescent socially coercive behaviors, such as bullying, relational aggression, and instrumental aggression. Knowledge about these goals is critical for the development of effective interventions. Bridging evolutionary and social-cognitive perspectives, we propose and substantiate a Social Goals and Gains Model of Adolescent Bullying and Aggression. The model holds that adolescents who h…

  • Intervention-induced temperament changes in children

    Marijke Huijzer-Engbrenghof, Loes Van Rijn‐van Gelderen et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2023

    Child temperament has long been viewed as a potential susceptibility factor in the link between parenting and child disruptive behavior (CDB). Specifically, the idea is that children with higher negative emotionality, surgency, and lower effortful control are more affected by their received parenting, but experimental evidence is scarce. Also, others have argued that child temperament might not be a susceptibility factor but a factor that can cha…

  • Does affirming children's autonomy and prosocial intentions help? A microtrial into intervention component effects to improve psychosocial behavior

    Open AccessBrechtje de Mooij, Minne Fekkes et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Psychology2022

    Prior research has related children's prosocial behavior to overall well-being, and stimulating prosocial behavior is the aim of many social-emotional skills interventions. This study assessed if affirming children's autonomy stimulates their psychosocial behavior. We conducted a three-arm microtrial with four repeated measures to assess if a social-emotional skills intervention with an autonomy affirmation component had an additive effect on chi…

  • Parenting in times of refuge

    Open AccessHend Eltanamly, Patty Leijten et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2022

    This qualitative study sheds light on how the different phases of refuge and resettlement shape parents’ perceptions of their parenting. We used in‐depth interviews to examine parents’ accounts of how war and refuge gave rise to different stressors, and how these in turn shaped parenting. We interviewed 27 Syrian refugee parents recently settled in the Netherlands (16 families) twice, using a grounded theory approach. We distinguished five phases…

  • Differences in developmental problems between victims of different types of child maltreatment

    Open AccessAnne M E Bijlsma, Mark Assink et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Child Welfare2022Referências: 3

    This study examined differences in developmental problems between children who were victims of two child maltreatment dimensions: abuse versus neglect, and physical versus emotional maltreatment. Family demographics and developmental problems were examined in a clinical sample of 146 Dutch children from families involved in a Multisystemic Therapy - Child Abuse and Neglect treatment trajectory. No differences were found in child behavior problems…

  • Does caregivers’ use of praise reduce children’s externalizing behavior? A longitudinal observational test in the context of a parenting program

    Joyce Weeland, Eddie Brummelman et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2022Referências: 5

    Caregivers are often encouraged to praise children to reduce externalizing behavior. Although several theoretical perspectives suggest that praise works (e.g., praise reinforces positive behavior), others suggest it may not (e.g., children dismiss praise or experience it as controlling). This longitudinal-observational study examined whether (a) caregivers' praise and children's externalizing behavior were related; (b) an evidence-based parenting…

  • The role of sensory processing sensitivity in the longitudinal associations between relationship qualities with parents and peers and externalizing behavior in adolescence

    Open AccessK Fischer, Helle Larsen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2022Citada por: 2Referências: 47

    Some adolescents may be more likely to be influenced by parents and peers in their development of externalizing behavior than others. Recent research indicates that sensory processing sensitivity may underlie such differences in sensitivity to environmental influences, and specifically that individuals with higher sensory processing sensitivity may be similarly highly reactive to both negative and positive social contexts. Data from a two-wave, t…

  • Not One Sexual Double Standard but Two? Adolescents' Attitudes About Appropriate Sexual Behavior

    Open AccessMaud Hensums, Geertjan Overbeek et al.ARTICLEYouth & Society2022Citada por: 2Referências: 33

    Popular belief holds that sexual behavior is evaluated more liberally for males than females. However, the assessment of this 'sexual double standard' is controversial. Therefore, we investigated measurement equivalence of commonly used items to assess sexual double standards in previous research. Based on established measurement equivalence, we investigated whether adolescents endorsed a sexual double standard. Using data from 455 adolescents ( …

  • Parenting in Times of War

    Open AccessHend Eltanamly, Patty Leijten et al.ARTICLETrauma Violence & Abuse2021

    This mixed methods systematic review and meta-analysis sheds more light on the role parenting practices play in children’s adjustment after war exposure. Specifically, we quantitatively examined whether parenting behavior explained some of the well-known associations between war exposure and children’s adjustment. In addition, we meta-synthesized qualitative evidence answering when and why parenting practices might change for war-affected familie…

  • Personalizing Child Protection

    Open AccessAnne M E Bijlsma, Claudia E Van Der Put et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2021Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    Personalization is an important strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of treatment that is aimed at reducing the risk of child maltreatment. In recent years, a growing body of research has appeared on how child protection can benefit from the principles of the Risk-Need-Responsivity model, but no attention has yet been paid to the implementation of the responsivity principle in child protection. Put simply, this principle states that treatment…

  • Therapists’ Contributions to the Alliance in Home-Based Family Treatment

    Open AccessMarianne J Welmers-van de Poll, Geert Jan J M Stams et al.ARTICLEContemporary Family Therapy2021Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    Alliance is a robust contributor to the outcome of adult, youth, and family therapy, but little is known about therapists’ contributions to the alliance in conjoint family treatment. We investigated the predictive value of therapists’ personality, clinical experience and observed alliance building behaviors for mid-treatment alliance as reported by therapists and family members. Participants were 77 parents and 21 youth from 57 families receiving…
